I dont know if thyroid cancer would fall under the head and neck cancer umbrella or not. I know brain cancer isnt considered a head and neck cancer so maybe thyroid cancer is like that? Its possible treatments for thyroid cancer would vary from what we usually think of as treatments for those with OC. Maybe thats playing a part in the difference of opinions? I completely agree that getting other opinions would be the best decision for someone in this situation. Best wishes with everything, Debby!!!
